choosers

Those who decide

Choosers are people who select from available options.

The word appears almost exclusively in the proverb beggars can't be choosers—meaning those who depend on others' generosity shouldn't be picky about what they receive.

Outside this expression, choosers is rare; people who select things are usually just called picky or selective.
